Preview version of CNC optimized DWC.
-
@dc42 I'll check it out.
And just as a side-note. With the 4-wire connection cable-length is less of an issue. I use around 2m unshielded, non-twisted 0.34mm² wiring. Works fine even at 115200 baud.
EDIT: I cannot reproduce this. I tried with both a PanelDue 5i as well as PanelDue V3 4.3", with RRF 3.2 as well as 3.3 build from sources. No error messages at all.
@kouta10 Can you please share some of these error messages. If you switch to the Console tab on PanelDue it should list them (at least the last ones) and you could take a photo.

@wilriker the error messages change too fast to make out a complete message. I have watched it for a small time to see if they are looping but couldn't pick up at what point they loop. They chang every .3 of a second. So it's to fast to read them.

Get someone else to hold down the Reset button of the Duet while you take a photo. Or temporarily comment out the M575 line in config.g that enables PanelDue support, then reset the board.

@kouta10 You could also take short video clip.

@dc42 sorry problem from my end, I put it back to printer mode and problem continued but strange because yesterday it seemed to fix the problem so I thought I will have a look at the terminal connector and found the problem with one of wires. Thanks for help

Hiya - I'm just trying out the new DWC after migrating from the Workbee one. It looks great and thanks for the work.
I noticed a couple things I'd like to feedback on. The "Go To Work XYZ Zero" doesn't correspond with the content of the workzero.g file, as it did with Workbee version.
Often while CNC'ing, the Z-0 is at the base of the material being cut, and the use of that button would cause the tool to crash into the material. In the Workbee web interface I could edit a macro in my system file to change the behaviour. Has the macro file name changed?
Other feedback request would be the option to change the name of the "Go To Work XYZ Zero" button in the DWC, via the associated macro. And to similarly be able to edit the axis set buttons in a similar way. I'd like to put an M291 command in as a failsafe in case of any being accidentally pressed. Another thing is if there was an option to change the speed information from mm/s to mm/min. That's just a preference.
Many thanks.

Hi, I have successfully migrated to RRF3.2.2 and everything works at it should. I really like added features especially the Gamepad jogger plugin. However, the interface still has a lot of 3D printer features remaining e.g. extruders and temperature which are not needed with CNCs. Is it possible to completely remove these in order to get a cleaner look? I think a hybrid of Ooznest's Workbee Control with the added features of DWC-CNC will be the best of both worlds. An XYZ probe macro and power-loss resume button will also be greatly welcome.
Thanks for your efforts.
-
@chimaeragh did you put it in cnc mode...if not will show the 3d printer interface!
-
@weed2all Yes I did. It is showing the CNC interface but there are still remnants of 3D printing like extruders, filaments and temperature which are not useful in a CNC environment. If you have used Ooznest's Workbee Control before you will understand what I mean.
-
@chimaeragh would you mind sharing some screenshots of the items you are referring to. Just an fyi the main areas of this version are focused on the dashboard and some plugins.
-
@Sindarius I was referring to areas other than the dashboard. If this release is mainly about the dashboard then I have no complaints. Thanks
-
@chimaeragh at this point the only area addressed outside of plugins is the dashboard. I know areas such as files need to be addressed. However, dashboard functionality was the main initial target.

Just following up on this. I've been running my CNC on a Duet3 board for a couple months now and loving it! Thanks to all who put the time and effort into this project!

@sindarius Is it possible to have the probe status back please ?
-
@sindarius - Firstly, what you have produced so far is BRILLIANT!! Well done sir
I absolutely love it!!Secondly - have you had any time to look into / work on, the idea of a plugin for the XYZ probe used on the Workbee? The DWC used by Ooznest was great for the inclusion of the automated probe setup/use, but the rest of the UI was so heavily "printer based" that I hated it.
Your CNC version, is "the dog's wotsits". If "their" probe setup (or similar) could be added to "yours" as a plugin - SO many people would be extremely pleased.
Thoughts - for future development ........., your gcode viewer is good. Before having to use/learn Duet, I used Universal Gcode Sender - the feature that I love in that, is seeing the toolpaths, and a representation of the tool tip - in real time as the cut progresses. It certainly gives me reassurance as to what the machine is doing/about to do. So a possible plugin for that would be uber cool!!!!
Many thanks - keep up your great work

@hagrid I've made some macros to deal with the xyz probe. Just need to edit for your different tool widths. I mainly use 6mm and 3mm end-mills so this works fine for me at the moment to have 2 macros. If I have an oddball sized bit then it's only 10 seconds to adjust the macro.
Admittedly, it would be lovely to have the Workbee style probe as a plugin but for the minute, the benefits of the newer firmware and this DWC outweigh the loss of the probe functions.If you want me to post the macros I can do so tomorrow when I'm in the workshop.
-
@rilot Please do post your macros.
-
@rilot yes of course please post the macros!
-
@rilot that would be greatly appreciated - many thanks
